Bills' Joe Brady proud of 'no blink' mentality in Ravens win image

The Buffalo Bills didn't blink in their come-from-behind 41-40 win over the Baltimore Ravens when so many others would have.

Granted, when you have the current MVP in Josh Allen at the helm, it makes things a little easier, but even for the Bills, down 40-25 with under five minutes left, it looked like a tall order for Allen to complete the comeback.

Even some of Bills Mafia were spotted leaving Highmark Stadium late in the game, such was the predicament the team was in.

But the Bills never gave up, and were rewarded with a win that defies logic.

And don't think that offensive coordinator Joe Brady wasn't happy with how the offense responded.

“I didn't think that that was exactly how it was going to go,” Brady said. “But them focusing and then not blinking, just knowing that as long as we got 17 and the guys in that locker room, as long as there's time on the clock, we got a chance, and we proved it. You're always trying to learn a lot about your team early in the season, and we found a way to win, and I thought that that was important.

"We didn't look at the scoreboard, didn't blink, and found a way to go one and zero."

The Bills win an unwinnable game vs. Ravens

Post-game, there were graphics going around on social media that showed the Ravens, at one point late in the fourth quarter, had a 99.1 percent chance of winning...and they still lost.

Needing just a first down to end the game, Sean McDermott's defense stiffened and halted Derrick Henry and the Ravens' rushing attack to give the ball back to Allen with a chance to win the game.

The current MVP led a 13-play, 71-yard drive with just 1:26 on the clock to get into field goal range, where Matt Prater converted his 32-yard field goal to break Baltimore's hearts.

In the last five minutes of the game, Allen and the offense scored two touchdowns and the game-winning field goal. 

No blinking, indeed.
